Alternative Names: Follicle-stimulating hormone, FSH, Follitropin

FSH is a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland that plays a key role in reproductive functions. In females, FSH promotes the growth of Graafian follicles in the ovary, while in males it enhances the production of androgen-binding protein by Sertoli cells in the testes, crucial for spermatogenesis. FSH also stimulates germ cell maturation in both sexes. In females, FSH plays a role in follicular growth and maturation, with inhibin B levels influencing FSH levels during the menstrual cycle. A slight increase in FSH at the end of the luteal phase helps initiate the next ovulatory cycle.

Product Description

Porcine Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is a glycoprotein hormone belonging to the gonadotropin family. It plays a key role in the regulation of reproductive processes in female pigs by stimulating the growth and development of ovarian follicles. FSH has a molecular weight of approximately 30 kDa and is produced by the anterior pituitary gland. Its actions are mediated through binding to specific receptors on the surface of ovarian granulosa cells, leading to the production of estrogen and the maturation of oocytes.

Storage Instruction

Lyophilized porcine FSH although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution FSH-porcine should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Sample Prep Instruction

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized ;porcine FSH ;in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
